Make a holiday rental gite or cottage in Megrit, France your home away from home

Megrit is a delightful hamlet in the Dinan area of Brittany, France. Set among some of the most beautiful countryside in Brittany, Megrit is a magnificent place to retreat and relax, far from the hustle of everyday life, in completely timeless surroundings. The holiday houses in Megrit are mainly renovated stone houses, which sit in the landscape like they were entirely natural, giving the hamlet a perfectly peaceful air.

Things to do in Megrit, France

Outdoor life is the priority from a holiday rental in Megrit, and the local delicacies are fantastically rustic, with home made cider available at almost every turn, and the local café serving some of the best Breton food you can find. The hearty food produced in and around Megrit is the ideal fuel for exploring the countryside under your own steam, whether that is on foot or by bicycle. Walking and cycling holidays are fantastic in the region, with more routes leading through the country than you could possibly investigate in a single holiday. There are riding stables offering hirelings and guided rides on the outskirts of Megrit, as well as two outdoor swimming pools.

There are a couple of large lakes around Megrit, one of which is an excellent fishing lake, and one of the most peaceful places to spend a day from your Megrit holiday rental. The fishing is excellent, and permits are readily available from the post office.

We had a very lovely stay at 8 Rue Du Four. We usually hire inside the rempart to avoid the steep rue Jerzual as we have small children but being the other side of the river Rance was very lovely as it is located by the river with restaurants, crêperies and a boulangerie just over the charming little bridge. You have the canal for walking, running or cycling along steps alway from your door step.
The house is spacious with a big kitchen and a nice size lounge. The TV works and it has satellite with English and French channels and a Xbox with games.
The 2 bedrooms are charming and cosy.
The owners are lovely, they speak both English and French and showed us around the house.
We would love to come back there we had a great time!!
Ps: great big fridge, a little freezer would be very handy :)
Hope to come back soon!!

Amazing location and fantastic hosts
The cottage is maintained to a high standard with fantastic facilities and exactly as the photo's - such comfy beds! Location is rural and you do need to travel but this comes with benefits of a relaxing environment.
Cannot fault the property.
Katherine and Eric were perfect hosts - and were there for any help and advice-.thank you.
Would highly recommend if you want to get away from it all.
Being so close to Dinan (20 mins) and other places it is an ideal place to explore from.

Perfect place for a relaxing break in Brittany. Jenny and Jaques are great hosts friendly but not intrusive. The Gite was well equipped complete with washing machine and dish washer, beds were very comfortable and we use an orthopaedic mattress at home. The swimming pool is small but also a nice feature. The real stars though are the animals and birds. From Paco the adorable rescued donkey, to OK and Gamma the beautiful horses, the 4 pigs, goats, 2 Shetland ponies, a hamster and two dogs Casper and the lovely Bruno. Then there are the many peacocks with their chicks the ducks on the two lakes on site the coypus and the elusive heron who always knew when I was about to photograph him and flew off just before. So if feeding the peacocks with Madeleine crumbs, and all the other animals with your spare fruit and veg is your cup of tea then you might never leave the gite. That would be a pity however as all within an hours drive there are some amazing beaches, chateaus, churches, an excellent zoo with probably the best birds of prey show you will see, some loveley mediaeval towns and of course the magnificent Mont St Michel. Many of the beaches do not have refreshment facilities so take a picnic with you. You will find that the many excellent restaurants in the area all close from about 4pm until gone seven so if you don't want to eat that late you will have to think about eating back at the gite if you do there is a nice small supermarket in Evran the closest village about 10km away and a hyper market which we did not bother with in tenteniac another quite close village . Couldn't recommend this holiday enough and we will definitely be going back sometime soon. One final comment this location is very rural and a car is a must
